Of all the marketing books I've read, this is my favourite. There's consistently 2 takeaways :
1. Simplicity
2. Clarity
This book is based on Steve Jobs. The above 2 principles guided everything from products, tech goals, naming, packaging, marketing, retail, and competitive edge. Apple stood out from everyone else and those who mocked and ignored them at the early stages are still scrambling to catch up.
This other bit (No. 40) on simplifying iPhone usage to mainly 3 things - internet, phone, iPod. Reminded me of the possibility of the open source phone. I think nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m talked about it ? Would be kinda wild having one with cash app + tidal + lightning/TBD . Maybe with nanotech based relays so that we can have decentralised app store that Nostr, Simplex and more is part of. We might come to a full circle. And market it as freedom phone or some catchy name. With a 1984 ad remake =)
